I grew up in the Willamette Valley SD. I suspect it would work BETTER there because you aren't dealing with the extreme temps. After I stopped harvesting at the end of Feb. the cold frame stood empty for exactly one week and then I planted it again. By then it was the first of March and the...

You can get the cultures for sour cream in the Caprine Supply catalog. It is an awesome catalog/website if you have goats or make cheese.

Awesome idea!

I grow just about everything we eat except corn. It is difficult to grow corn here due to the growing season and the inability to grow it in a hoophouse/greenhouse/cold frame. I can and freeze a lot. I have a few fruit trees (my folks have a big orchard though-so I get a lot from them too)...

Gardening is a bit of a challenge here. We have very sandy/volcanic soil and get less than 10 inches of rain a year. In the summer it can be 100 degrees and in winter it can be -20. We can have frost any month of the year. I have frozen out twice in July. I grow tomatoes/peppers in a hoop...

I shoot a .270 Safari Grade B A R with a Nikon Monarch scope. I really like it.

That is adorable!

Howdy WBFG!! I also garden in a not-so-hospitable place. Have you thought of putting in a cold frame? This is mine from last Oct/Nov. We also get very cold/long winters. I harvested salad greens from this thing until I finally tore them out to start over the last week of February. It...

Since I have PB pulled up, I will go ahead and post a few of some of the other critters. (kids are critters, right?) My oldest son on Macai, heading out on a trailride with me. You can't see me, because I am holding the camera, but I am on Dakota ahead of him. My younger son, cross...

This is my 7 year old bay gelding, Dakota. He is my main ride. In this pic, it is his first year under saddle (he was 3). I am not sure what ride this is, but it is one of the first 20. I put 30 rides on him that summer, then turned him out for the winter. This is him 2 summers ago. A...

Let me see if I can figure out how to post pics. This is my mare Macai and I (black mare/bareback) on a camping trip on the Steens. My Aunt Marilyn is on the chestnut mare--also Arab. This is on a day ride in the Ochocos with my saddle club. My friend Cher is on the bay gelding and my...

We must live very close? I am just off of the O'Neil Hwy!

I have an Arabian mare and a Arab/Quarter cross gelding. I foster for a rescue, and both of them were adopted from there. Do you ride?

Wow! What a friendly group!:D I have Saanens for milk (and cheese and ice cream) and Boers for meat! My herd is small. 9 goats currently.

Howdy! I am new here and hoping to learn a lot. I live on 6 acres in Central Oregon! I raise a garden (NOT easy here) and have chickens, horses, and goats-both milkers and meat. Is there anyone else here from Oregons dry side??

I do have trouble with my glasses being cloudy. We have well water too, and it is pretty hard. How much citric acid powder would you add to the soda/borax solution to combat that?

After reading the thread about the homemade laundry soap, I made some to try this week. It was easy and I am very happy with the results. Definitely making that again. Now I was just wondering if there is a recipe for automatic dishwashing soap/detergent? I go through a lot of that with a...
